Title: | Measurement of the Surface Density of States by Field Ionization |
Published: | October 01, 1975 |
Abstract: | It is shown that recent measurements of field ion energy distributions from clean tungsten surfaces probe the density of metal states in the vicinity of the surface. We find j() = (2/kh)m| d3rm(r) z|2(-m), where j() is the ion current a , mand m are electronic metal eigenfunctions and eigenvalues in the presence of the external electric field used in field ionization and (z) is a function which is large near the noble gas atom. An explicit expression for (z) is given in the text. It is estimated that tungsten metal states with values of k|| at least as large as 0.5 {Aring}-1 make an appreciable contribution to j() where k|| is the electron momentum parallel to the surface.

Good evening,
I have bought a Samsung Ativ S recently and I like it (except for the auto brightness bug, but it seems to be a WP8 problem, not OEM specific). However, the grass is always greener... Samsung feels a bit "plasticy" and I am thinking to return it and buy Lumia 920 instead.
Here is a question: is it possible to disable a haptic feedback on 3 front keys on Lumia 920? I absolutely can not stand this vibrations every time I press one of these keys. Samsung has the extra settings menu where you can easily turn it off, so if I can not do the same on Lumia, than I have to stay on Ativ S:)
I can not check it self because there are still no demo's in the phone shops here in Holland. -
no. there is no option for turning the key vibration off. also there is no option for turning the very bright key lights off either so that may bother you in very dark environments.

In use | 1913 – early 1983 |
Orford Ness is a cuspate foreland shingle spit on the Suffolk coast in Great Britain, linked to the mainland at Aldeburgh and stretching along the coast to Orford and down to North Wier Point, opposite Shingle Street. It is divided from the mainland by the River Alde, and was formed by longshore drift along the coast. The material of the spit comes from places further north, such as Dunwich. Near the middle point of its length, at the foreland point or 'Ness', lies the Orfordness Lighthouse.[1] In the name of the lighthouse (and the radio transmitting station - see below), 'Orfordness' is written as one word.
Orford Ness is an internationally important site for nature conservation. It contains a significant portion of the European reserve of vegetated shingle habitat,[2] which is internationally scarce, highly fragile and very easily damaged. Together with Havergate Island the site is a designated National Nature Reserve[3] and forms part of: the Alde-Ore Estuary Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI);[4] the Alde, Ore & Butley Estuaries[5] and the Orfordness-Shingle Street[6] Special Area of Conservation (SAC); the Alde-Ore Estuary Special Protection Area (SPA);[7] the Alde-Ore Estuary Ramsar Site site;[8] the Suffolk Coasts and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB);[9] and the Suffolk Heritage Coast.[10] It is also listed as of national importance in the Geological Conservation Review (GC),[11] as a grade 1 site in the Nature Conservation Review.[12] (NCR) and qualifies for the DEFRA Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA) scheme.[13]
The peninsula was formerly administered by the Ministry of Defence, which conducted secret military tests during both world wars and the Cold War.
The site was selected as the location for the Orfordness Beacon, one of the earliest experiments in long-range radio navigation. The Beacon was set up in 1929 and used in the pre-war era. In the 1930s Orford Ness was the site of the first purpose built experiments on the defence system that would later be known as radar. Having proved the technology on Orford Ness Robert Watson-Watt and his team moved to nearby Bawdsey Manor and developed the Chain Home radar system in time for its vital role in the Battle of Britain.
The Atomic Weapons Research Establishment had a base on the site, used for environmental testing. When a laboratory test is conducted to determine the functional performance of a component or system under conditions that simulate the real environment in which the component or system is expected to operate. Many of the buildings from this time remain clearly visible from the quay at Orford, including the distinctive "pagodas". Whilst it is maintained that no fissile material was tested on the site, the very high explosive initiator charge was present and the buildings were designed to absorb any accidental explosion, allowing gases and other material to vent and dissipate in a directed or contained manner. In the event of a larger accident, the roofs were designed to collapse onto the building, sealing it with a lid of concrete.
In the late 1960s an experimental Anglo-American military over-the-horizon radar known as Cobra Mist was built on the peninsula. It closed in 1973, and in the late 1970s and early 1980s the site and building were re-used for the Orfordness transmitting station. This powerful mediumwave radio station - originally owned and run by the Foreign Office, then the BBC and, after privatization in the 1990s, a series of private companies - was best known for transmitting the BBC World Service in English around the clock to continental Europe on 648 kHz from September 1982 until March 2011. The station has been disused since May 2012.
Orford Ness is now owned by the National Trust and is open to the public under the name "Orford Ness National Nature Reserve", though access is strictly controlled to protect the fragile habitats and due to a residual danger to the public from the site's former use by the military. Access is therefore only available by the National Trust ferry from Orford Quay on designated open days.[14]
Rachel Woodward writes:[15][16]
" | It is a place of strange contrasts. For the National Trust, its 'elemental nature' contrasts with the 'inherent dangers' of this place, a 'hostile and potentially dangerous site'. Military structures – the Bomb Ballistics Building, the Black Beacon, the 'pagodas' used for explosive design – have been converted into viewing spots. This is not a celebratory site, however; there is ambivalence and doubt here, with regard to what is being physically and ideologically conserved. | " |
Owing to its military history, its stark appearance and the fact that it was closed to the public for many decades, several apocryphal stories have circulated about Orford Ness. The best-known is the suggestion that Nazi troops attempted to invade England and actually disembarked at the tip of the peninsula near Shingle Street, before being repelled with a wall of fire. Official sources denied any such attempted invasion took place, an assertion apparently confirmed by classified documents released in 1993. More recently, the flashes of the lighthouse were implicated in the Rendlesham Forest UFO sightings of late December 1980. In 2013, Trinity House announced that the lighthouse is to be discontinued as an aid to navigation and marked on UKHO charts as disused.[17]
The Black Beacon radio navigation tower and the lighthouse.
Orford Ness is Europe's largest vegetated shingle spit.[18][19] It is approximately 10 miles (16 km) long,[20] and the site covers a total area of approximately 2,230 acres (900 ha).[21] Forty percent of this (890 acres) is shingle, 25 percent (556 acres) tidal rivers, mud flats, sand flats, and lagoons, eighteen percent (400 acres) grassland, and fifteen percent (330 acres) salt marsh.[21]
The spit formed almost entirely of flint deposited by waves through the process of long-shore drift. The main influence on its formation has been storm waves throwing shingle over the top of the beach crest, where it is protected from ordinary wave action.[18] Over time, this process leads to the formation of stable ridges of fine particles, and swails of coarser shingle.[18]
The size and shape of the spit fluctuates over time (see map). Estimated growth rates range from 64m per year in 1962 to 1967, to 183m per year in 1804 to 1812. Between 1812 and 1821, the total length fluctuated by 1.8 miles (2.9 km).[22] As a result of the dynamically changing nature of the spit, the true age of its formation is unknown.[23] However, before about 1200, Orford is thought to have been a port facing the open sea.[24]

Switzerland's Supreme Court decided Jan. 11, the day before a powerful earthquake leveled Port-au-Prince, Haiti, that a lower court had arrived at an incorrect decision that would have sent the money to aid organizations in Haiti. However, the high court's ruling wasn't disclosed until Wednesday, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
The Haitian government has been trying to recover the money since 1986, contending Duvalier, known as "Baby Doc," had stolen the public's money before being overthrown as leader of Haiti.
Duvalier, now 58, had run the country since 1971 when, at age 19, he took over after the death of his father Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier, who had ruled the Caribbean island nation since 1957.
The Journal reported Duvalier is believed to be living in exile in France and his lawyer in Geneva, Switzerland, Guy Reber, couldn't be reached for comment.
The newspaper said the Swiss government immediately froze the accounts Wednesday and Swiss officials were trying to expedite legislation that could be applied retroactively to facilitate the money's return to the government of Haiti.
"We assume that this money doesn't belong to the Duvalier family," said Swiss Justice Minister Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf. "We have blocked the money again today to prevent it from going somewhere that it shouldn't for political reasons. We hope this money finally goes back to the country."

2. Feet and body assembly: Adult will have to do most of this part of the assembly - a stapler is required. -Fold the feet template on the center dotted line so color is showing on both sides -Insert the folded feet template on the center round portion up to the dotted line of template #1 (body) or folded paper plate and staple at least twice in place -- refer to the illustration for positioning (Note: glue will not hold the pieces in place). -Turn and fold the feet upward on both sides to stand on the dotted lines. For reinforcement, glue a small piece of cardboard or card stock to the feet base. 3. While adult is completing step 2 of the feet assembly, children can glue the beak, comb (crest), and wattles on the head template. Note: Fold beak along the center line and place glue where indicated -- the beak will open and close. 4. Glue assembled head to right or left corner of body template (this will depend in which direction the feet were positioned and stapled. 5. Leaves (feathers) Assembly Instructions: Small Version: Glue one or two leaves on each side of the body template. This step is important because one leaf handprint (feather) on each side will create balance so the finished craft can stand. Add equal amount of printed or real leaves on each side to also maintain balance. Bend the printed leaves slightly one way and the other to make the craft more realistic and stable. Note: If gluing other alternatives - elongated ovals for example, glue same amount on both sides to maintain balance Large Version: Same procedure as above except you may glue more leaves (up to six) to fill up as the illustration shows - not to exceed 3 handprints on each side or it will be too heavy and not stand. Other ideas for decorating: Older children 4.5, 5 and 6 need more challenge to make the process more interesting and explore other art techniques or simply set up various materials and different brushes, sponge rollers, etc. and allow them to discover ways to paint and decorate. 1. Painting the paper plate, or body template and remaining templates is an opportunity to explore other techniques: 1. Mosaic: fill the body and/or leaf template with real maple leaves or crushed leaves in different colors. Fill the the templates with cut up & shapes of tissue paper, or left over craft paper, and cut out excess. 2. Use a sponge roller or pieces of sponges cut into basic shapes, and mix shades and/or roll paint. 3. Use a dropper 4. Glue yarn to half of toilet paper tube in different designs, roll the tube over a thin layer of paints and roll over the template - really neat designs will be achieved. Messy? Yes, but lots of fun. 5. Explore with stripes and color mixing. Make the crafts and use as name signs/table setting for a theme unit or party.

behaving like lift
, however that approach violates the monad
transformer laws. Another common mistake is to include the base monad as a
term in the functor, which also gives rise to an incorrect monad
To solve this, this module provides FreeT
, which properly generalizes the
free monad to a free monad transformer which is correct by construction.
The FreeT
type commonly arises in coroutine and iteratee libraries that
wish to provide a monad transformer that correctly obeys the monad
transformer laws.
Free monad transformer
This differs substantially from the non-monad-transformer version because of the requirement to nest the constructors within the base monad.
To deconstruct a free monad transformer, use runFreeT
to unwrap it and
bind the result in the base monad. You can then pattern match against the
bound value to obtain the next constructor:
do x <- runFreeT f case x of Return r -> ... Wrap w -> ...
Because of this, you cannot create free monad transformers using the raw
constructors from FreeF
. Instead you use the smart constructors return
(from Control.Monad
) and wrap
A free monad transformer alternates nesting the base monad m
and the base
functor f
- The functor that generates the free monad transformer -
- The base monad -
- The type of the return value
liftF :: (Functor f, Monad m) => f r -> FreeT f m rSource
Equivalent to liftF
from Control.Monad.Free
Free monad
The Free
type is isomorphic to the following simple implementation:
data Free f r = Return r | Wrap (f (Free f r))
... except that if you want to pattern match against those constructors, you
must first use runFree
to unwrap the value first.
case (runFreeT f) of Return r -> ... Wrap w -> ...
Similarly, you use the smart constructors return
and wrap
to build a
value of type Free

Is the key to recruiting the best candidates a question of keeping up momentum and managing expectations? We're often asked for advice on the best ways to run the recruitment process as many of our clients don't recruit that often. We'll take most of the strain on their behalf so all that many of our clients have to worry about is turning up at the right time for the interview, and remembering to take the candidate's cv along with them.
However, once a star candidate has been identified, the recruiter needs to understand that they are not the only one doing the 'buying' and they will need to 'sell' the fund. There's no doubt that there's a huge amount of talent looking for work now and it's a great time to be hiring. The difficulty funds are still finding is that the strongest candidates are often the people that everyone wants to employ. It's not uncommon that the person a fund wants to make an offer to will be lining up two or three other offers at the same time. Arguably, the best way of maximising the chances of landing the strongest candidate is to keep up the momentum during the interview process and to manage expectations along the way. Whilst it sounds obvious, it's surprising how many funds let time drift for weeks at a time without arranging further interviews or making an offer.
Recruitment is understandably often pushed down the fund's list of priorities. However, by setting a timeline for the recruitment process and making sure that the candidate is clear about the process along the way, then the candidate will remain enthused about the opportunity and start to feel like part of the team. The strongest candidates will take into account how clear the messages coming out of the fund are, and how the fund organises itself in respect of the interviews. Interviews that are continually cancelled, rushed, or lack focus rarely create a good impression. First mover advantage is also important when making an offer as candidates will start to imagine themselves in the role and have a warm disposition to who gets there first. If a fund makes an offer first then it can also keep in contact with the candidate whilst they consider their options and make them feel wanted.
Expectation management is also important because it means a fund avoids spending time interviewing people who are unlikely to accept a position. This will mean making the role and responsibility of the position clear, and being upfront about the likely package. There's nothing quite like dampening the enthusiasm of a preferred candidate by offering 10% less than they were expecting. Managing the candidate's expectations will ensure that the chances of securing their services is maximised. Candidates also bear responsibility here. They too must be open with you and advise you of where they are with others. It never ceases to amaze me when they announce at the 11th hour that they have another offer on the table. It's a bad strategy by the candidate because it puts the fund on the back foot and doesn't give the fund the opportunity to be creative about the role or package. We therefore encourage our clients to question the candidate about where they are with other interviews, and we too do our best to ensure both parties are kept up to date.
It's all part of your employer brand. Letting the process drift and offering below expectations is not a successful recruitment strategy. Maintaining momentum and managing expectations along the way will considerably enhance your chances of landing a star.

dc.description.abstract | Advantages of using Finite Element Method (FEM)in structural engineering practice are presented in this paper.A brief description of the method is given with the aim to illustrate the rich solid mathematical basis that makes its foundation.The paper then presents some guidelines on how to build a good model for Finite Element Analysis (FEA) purposes. The guideline emphasises the need for the analyst to have a clear understanding of the physical problem and of the behaviour of the elements he employs to carry out the analysis.A practical example presented in order to illustrate the type of analysis and results that can be obtained from a commercial FE software package. This example forms part of the research work that was carried out by the author.And finally, it is recommended that all practicing structural engineers must learn the basics of finite element method, and be equiped with some FE software packagess. Since it is the most commonly used and trusted method in the world of engineering today. In order to keep up with the rest of the world in engineering advancements, the author finds it vital to equip all engineers with the latest engineering software packages and to elevate continuing engineering education. | en_US |

This is my first loop. It's short and minimal. Didn't take much time to make. It's more of an experiment.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Really chill beat, I just sat back and relaxed while this was playing. Loops flawlessly. However, I felt there could have been a bit of differentiation in the chords. The only reason I gave you 3.5 stars is because the awkward rhythm in the chords makes it a little, and i mean a little, hard to get into when you first start it. All in all though, great job. I'll be keeping an eye out on new stuff ^^

Reel WorldFound Footage FestWhat the heck is "found footage"? Well, in the simplest terms, it's any film or video footage that someone has—through their vast pop cultural archaeology skills—collected, stumbled across or otherwise unearthed from the trash bin of time. Now, for the first time ever, The Found Footage Film Festival is making a stop in New Mexico. This acclaimed touring showcase of odd and hilarious found clips is curated and hosted (live and in-person) by Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher, whose credits include The Onion, "The Late Show With David Letterman" and "The Colbert Report." Among those contributing garage sale finds, warehouse excavations and prized dumpster dives are comedians David Cross, David Wain and Kumail Nanjiani. Weird old TV commercials, bizarro PSAs, freaky home movies, indecipherable Saturday morning cartoons and one-of-a-kind exercise videos featuring the likes of Dolph Lundgren, Milton Berle and WWF's The Bushwhackers are just the tip of the iceberg! The Found Footage Fest rolls into UNM's Southwest Film Center on Sunday, Sept. 27, at 7 p.m. for one must-not-miss screening. Check out foundfootagefest.com for more info. Dome Sweet DomeUNM's ARTS Lab is hosting its sixth annual DomeFest this weekend, a global showcase of cutting-edge artistic and technological innovations for large-format digital dome theaters. Among the public screenings at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science are: "Touching the Edge of the Universe," a full-fledged, multimedia documentary on the history of astronomy (Friday at noon, 1 and 2 p.m.); "Fragile Planet," a 30-minute round-trip to the outer reaches of the universe narrated by Sigourney Weaver (Sunday at noon, 1 and 2 p.m.); and "The Omnicentric Universe," a work of "performance animation" from interactive designer, filmmaker and graphic artist J. Walt (Sunday at 8 p.m.). For complete program details, log on to domefest.org. Hang With HongThe name James Hong might not ring an immediate bell, but you've seen the venerable character actor's work in countless films from Blade Runner to Big Trouble in Little China to Balls of Fury—not to mention, oh ... roughly every TV show ever made. Hong will be the guest of honor at a special Art Has Heart Foundation dinner Monday, Sept. 28, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Lin's Buffet (10100 Coors NW). Video clips, door prizes, a Q&A and some stand-up comedy from Hong are just part of the evening's festivities. Tickets for this charity event ($25 general admission, $50 VIP) are available by contacting Bob Nuchow at (310) 562-4578 or email@example.com. If you can't catch the big dinner, Hong will make two public appearances on Sunday, Sept. 27: a DVD signing at Hastings (6501 Winter Haven NW) starting at 7:30 p.m. and a cocktail reception at Jinja Bar & Bistro (5400 Sevilla NW) starting at 10 p.m. | Today's EventsExperiments in Cinema v10.T36 at Guild CinemaWednesdayThe Last Days of Vietnam at KiMo TheatreMore Recommented Events ›› | |

Network function virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networks (SDN) are two closely related technologies that often exist together, but not always. An SDN can be considered a series of network objects (such as switches, routers, firewalls) that deploy in a highly automated manner. The automation may be achieved by using commercial or open source tools customized according to the administrator's requirements. A full SDN may only cover relatively straightforward networking requirements, such as VLAN and interface provisioning.
In many cases, SDN will also be linked to server virtualization, providing the glue that sticks virtual networks together. This may involve NFV, but not necessarily. NFV is the process of moving services, such as load balancing, firewalls and IPS, away from dedicated hardware into a virtualized environment. This is, of course, part of a wider movement toward the virtualization of applications and services.
Functions such as caching and content control can easily be migrated to a virtualized environment but won't necessarily provide any significant reduction in operating costs until some intelligence is introduced. This is because a straight physical to virtual, from an operational perspective, achieves little beyond the initial reduction in power and rack-space consumption. Until some dynamic intelligence is introduced with an SDN technology, NFV inherits many of the same constraints as traditional hardware appliance deployments, such as static, administrator-defined and managed policies.
A good example is virtualized application delivery controllers (ADCs). With careful configuration, it is possible to react to the network state and spin up or down application servers as demands rise and fall. However, traditional hardware deployments have been able to do this for a while, and the configuration is very static; it doesn't cater to the scenario where the ADC itself becomes overloaded or an additional application needs to be brought into production quickly. With SDN features driving NFV, several useful things start to happen. The network can react when things need to change at the micro and macro level. An additional instance can be provisioned in a cluster of virtualized ADCs as the load increases, and production applications can easily be cloned and re-deployed in a development environment. The potential is endless.
So it's perfectly possible to have NFV without the inclusion of a full-blown SDN. The two are often deployed together, and an SDN that drives NFV is a very powerful combination.
Neither NFV nor SDN are turnkey solutions in early 2014 -- a great deal of integration and policy design still need to happen. This can become a reality for many enterprises, but the harness is not entirely in place. That said, the tools are rapidly evolving, and many vendors are bringing technologies to market that support SDN or NFV deployments. Ultimately, the implementation of either or both technologies will be driven by the business needs.

Scoutmaster Musings - Clean

< < <
Scoutmaster Musings
From the Scout Handbook - "A Scout is clean. A Scout keeps his body and mind fit. He chooses the company of those who live by high standards. He helps keep his home and community clean."
There's no way to camp, hike, and play in the outdoors and not get dirty. Getting dirty is half the fun, whether it's tramping down a muddy trail or wiping dust off a sweaty brow. Many honorable jobs also result in a dirty body - farmers, mechanics, miners, and so on. This natural kind of dirt is not the heart of this point of the Scout Law, but it still needs to be managed.
Scouts can also make a huge impact on the cleanliness of their environment. Our care for the natural world needs to be improved. Bad habits of consuming more than we need and having no concern for the next generation need to be broken. Performing service and conservation projects are great ways to build the sense of servitude toward the community that each of us need to nurture.
Scouts that fail to keep their gear clean and dry discover it wears out faster or becomes ruined. Washing and sanitizing hands before cooking ensures a safe meal for everyone. Bathing each day helps remove harmful germs, dirt, and odors from a scout's body. The discipline of daily cleaning demonstrates maturity and responsibility as well as a commitment to the Scout Oath of keeping
physically fit
If it's not dirt, earth, and grime that makes a Scout dirty, what does? It's a simple chore to scrub dirt off skin, but a much more difficult task to clean up filthy thoughts, habits, and behaviors that accumulate in our lives. First a feeling of jealousy or mistrust towards someone, then a derogatory comment about them, and soon a person is a fountain of malice spewing forth filth, vulgarity, and hate. Cleaning up such a mess is nearly impossible, but fortunately takes a long time to develop. By keeping the mind and heart clean and not allowing the emotional grime to settle in, the problem is kept at bay.
Associating with other people that demonstrate clean minds and hearts is the best way to keep clean. Adult leaders that encourage, praise, and support others are like strong detergent. Scouting with other scouts that cheerfully provide service to the community, help others at all times, and accept responsibility helps keep a scout sparkling clean. Outside of scouting, the choice of friends plays the same role. Hanging out with people that use foul language, have malicious fun, or care only for themselves will engrain those habits in the scout.
The term
filthy liar
is spot on correct. Lying, cheating, and stealing are all habits formed from an unclean soul. Resolving to speak the truth and resist temptation to lie is the basis of being Trustworthy. It is manifest as clean, honest words and actions. A clean scout tempers his tongue and only speaks the truth in a kind manner. This is based on a sense of caring for others. Self-centered people have no care for others or how actions may effect them. An unselfish scout caring for the needs of others out of compassion is an industrial-strength vacuum on the dirt of his soul.
Dirty jokes, vulgar comments, racial slurs, ridicule, and swearing are often heard in many situations. They have no place in scouting and no place in a scout's life. Besides choosing to not say those kinds of things, a scout should also make it known that he will not tolerate those things. A single scout will most likely not change the behaviors of a group, but he can make his feelings known and then remove himself from the crowd. He can also support someone he finds as the butt of these comments and demonstrate compassion to those unclean louts, possibly helping them recognize their ways.
A Scout is Clean.

Coming in at just under 10 miles Mullen's Cove Loop is the bulk of the Rock/Creek River Gorge 10.2 mile trail race which occurs on the last Saturday in March. This incredibly diverse trail lies within the 24,686 acre Prentice Cooper Wilderness Management Area. This entire loop is part of the Cumberland Trail. A significant length of this trail hangs airily along the edge of a 1000 feet of vertical drop down to the Tennessee River. Many spots along the trail offer peaks into the depth of the river gorge which has carved it's way through 26 miles of the Cumberland Plateau. The most spectacular view into the gorge comes just before the trail turns westward into the Mullen's Creek drainage at Snooper's Rock.
The trail is generally gradual in it's relief but not without a few steep switchbacks to sizzle your calves and quads. Creeks gurgle and bubble along before plunging steeply over the breach into the rocks below on their way to the Tennessee River. Lichen and moss encrusted outcrops of rock emerge from the soil creating a stunning collage of texture and color that changes as the canopy morphs with the seasonal shifts.
The mesophytic forest of the Cumberland Plateau is home to a great diversity of trees. Some of the more dominant tree species include: American Beech, Yellow poplar, Hickory, Eastern Hemlock, Loblolly Pine, and many varieties of Oak.
Enjoy the views as you buzz down the trail!
Check the Prentice Cooper website for hunting dates, the area is closed seasonally especially on weekends. Be sure to bring adequate water supply, especially on hot summer days. The weather is as diverse as the forest so dress appropriately with wicking layers. There are several creek crossings and the final mile is along a creek. So there can be water available.
Points of Interest
Getting to Prentice Cooper
The vast majority of people will be coming from Chattanooga. On Signal Mountain Blvd take a left on Suck Creek Road across R/R tracks. Drive 8 miles along river and up mountain. Near the top of climb take a left on Choctaw, bear left at Y around S curve and take next left.
Entering the WMA
The road turns to gravel. Once inside WMA it's less than 3 miles to the parking area.
Mullen's Cove Loop Trailhead is on the right.
Across from the parking lot is the trail to Rockhouse. The trail inside the lot leads you to the creek and Rock Garden.
Indian Rock House .56 m
One of the most unique geologic features in the area is this stone door leading to the Indian Rock House. This cliff overhang serves as one of three aid stations during the River Gorge trail race.
Turn right towards Snooper's
Old road ends.
Pick up single track on the right.
Creek Crossing 2: 1.43 m
View of TN River gorge
Views similar to this are enjoyed all along the trail from Indian Rock House to Snoopers Rock.
Snooper's Rock 3.19 m
This point of rock offers amazing views of the Tennessee River Gorge. The trail continues to the left of the parking area at Snooper's. You will soon cross Tower Road near the grassy area and signboard at Snooper's and Tower Roads.
Pot Point Loop Intersection 3.25m
Head west here toward Hemlock Branch Campsite. The parking area near this intersection serves as the location for the second of three aid stations during the Rock/Creek River Gorge trail races. This is also the spot where the two races split. The 10.2 mile race continues on the Mullins Cove loop, while the 6.5 mile race turns to the right onto the ATV trail.
Tower Road Crossing 3.53m
Pot Point Intersection 4.10m
Continue straight on Mullens Cove Loop.
Hemlock Branch Campsite and Rough Stream Crossing 4.38 m
This is a fantastic, very secluded camp site. Just next to this site, the trail follows an old road bed for less than 100 feet. Pay attention to the double white blazes that signal the turn off the old road and back onto single track trail.
Mullins Cover Overlook 4.50 m
A short spur off the main trail will reward you with a fantastic view of Mullins Cove and down into the Tennessee River Gorge.
Stream Crossing
Steep Switchbacks 6.06 m
Lower End of Hailey Rd. 6.7m
You'll see a sign for Haley Road, cross a creek and then hit an ATV road. Turn right and uphill. Watch for TRAIL sign on left. Travel on road for .13 m. Pay attention for the double white blaze indicating a turn.
Upper End of Hailey Rd. 6.83m
Pay attention for the double white blaze indicating a turn. This spot serves as the third and final aid station during the Rock/Creek River Gorge trail race.
Overlook to Haley Road
After passing Mullen's Overlook there's a long stretch of single track as you enter Mullen's Cove. You may hear the creek below on the valley. There are a few minor creek crossings, but mostly just undulating single track.
Beginning of Descent Into Rock Garden 8.26 m
Trail transitions into rocky terrain.
Rock Garden
The photos here do a good job of describing the difficulty of this section. Slow down and take caution here. A rescue from this location would be most difficult.
Short Creek
After the Rock Garden you parallel Short Creek for a bit and then climb away to the right.
Last Section
You cross an ATV road and then hit a very runnable section to the finish. Slightly uphill you will have to work, but you know you are almost done.
Finish 9.76 m

Here is the updated control sample for RC0.
Just a few changes from Beta 2 - RCO:
So porting was easy. If you want to play with this, definitely load it up in Blend and check out the great new VSM support as well. It make re-templating MUCH easier and I had some fun creating weird collapse effects (not included).
PingBack from http://housesfunnywallpaper.cn/?p=7913
Boyan Mihaylov on SL/Amazon, David Hyde with SL Stock Portfolio, Chris Anderson with SL LOB app, Jesse
Hi Shawn, thanks for your update. I created a custom control based on yours and it was fully functional under S2 Beta 2. Unfortunately with RC0 I'm facing one problem.... Is there any way to animate the Height prop of the contentgrid instead of using a rendertransform? The problem is, that I'd like to animate this prop between values Auto (expanded content) to 0 (collapsed content)... Blend claims it is not possible to animate auto generated values. In Beta 2, I used a little workaround to handle this by defining the Storyboard as the layoutRoot grid resource and dynamically setting the Height value in code, after the content was bound and I could evaluate the room it takes. RC0 comes with some changes in VSM syntax/usage and it seems it breaks my bypass :)
Thanks a lot.
@Igor - getting these sorts of things is pretty tough. I wanted to do this for this control but basically gave up on it and switched to the transform. There might be some way to push your own transition using the APIs off of VisualStateManager. One option (hold on to your hat) is to write a control that implements Measure/Arrange based on it's children, then reports that sized value as it's Height. This would be a container/content control that you'd put your content in and then bind to it's Height property. Worth trying - but no idea if it'll work or have other side-effects...
Shawn, as I can see we've come across similar issues and ideas how to handle them. :) I've played a bit with such custom panel but with no desired output so far. I've managed to work things out in Beta 2 with this little named static resource trick. I've also implemented your approach in my custom control with success (working on RC0), although it's not the kind of effect I'm looking for, as I've incorporated your control idea and have created a HeaderedItemsControl (HIC), which contains a header and collapsible list of items. Moreover, I've created a list of these controls, which is the main reason why I can't use your RenderTransform approach. I need all HICs in the list below the selected one to move up/down as I expand/collapse the selected HIC accordingly. The layout is not affected when playing with render transformation, as far as I know...that's why I need to play with the panel height instead. Result for me? : I'll probably play with the custom panel a bit more. BTW Have you some best practices or samples of custom panels overriding Measure/Arrange methods available? Thanks a lot
I'm having the same issues. Still no luck?
David has written about some of this stuff at his blog:
Thank you for pointing out the reference to David's LayoutTransform project. It looks it may provide me with solution to my issues. I'll definitely take a closer look at the project and will also play a bit with that custom Panel in advance ... just to see what can we do about it. If something interesting comes out, I'll let you guys know about it.

6 But remember: anyone who sows sparsely will reap sparsely as well -- and anyone who sows generously will reap generously as well.
7 Each one should give as much as he has decided on his own initiative, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
8 God is perfectly able to enrich you with every grace, so that you always have enough for every conceivable need, and your resources overflow in all kinds of good work.
9 As scripture says: To the needy he gave without stint, his uprightness stands firm for ever.
10 The one who so freely provides seed for the sower and food to eat will provide you with ample store of seed for sowing and make the harvest of your uprightness a bigger one:
11 you will be rich enough in every way for every kind of generosity that makes people thank God for what we have done.
1 Alleluia! How blessed is anyone who fears Yahweh, who delights in his commandments!
2 His descendants shall be powerful on earth, the race of the honest shall receive blessings:
3 Riches and wealth for his family; his uprightness stands firm for ever.
4 For the honest he shines as a lamp in the dark, generous, tender-hearted, and upright.
9 To the needy he gives without stint, his uprightness stands firm for ever; his reputation is founded on strength.
1 'Be careful not to parade your uprightness in public to attract attention; otherwise you will lose all reward from your Father in heaven.
2 So when you give alms, do not have it trumpeted before you; this is what the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win human admiration. In truth I tell you, they have had their reward.
3 But when you give alms, your left hand must not know what your right is doing;
4 your almsgiving must be secret, and your Father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you.
5 'And when you pray, do not imitate the hypocrites: they love to say their prayers standing up in the synagogues and at the street corners for people to see them. In truth I tell you, they have had their reward.
6 But when you pray, go to your private room, shut yourself in, and so pray to your Father who is in that secret place, and your Father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you.
16 'When you are fasting, do not put on a gloomy look as the hypocrites do: they go about looking unsightly to let people know they are fasting. In truth I tell you, they have had their reward.
17 But when you fast, put scent on your head and wash your face,
18 so that no one will know you are fasting except your Father who sees all that is done in secret; and your Father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you.

I rerember seeing a quote a few years back, i think it was from the koran or hadiths, saying something along the lines of - "allah is allowed to contradict himself"
i recently tried to goole it and found nothing.
help anyone?
The effect of abrogation is that if there is a contradiction in the texts then whatever is later written supersedes whatever was written before. If it says in the texts that it is bad to kill an innocent unbeliever, but later on there is a passage which says it is good to kill an unbeliever for this or that, then the latter has superseded the earlier passage and the earlier passage is no longer in effect.
Muslims often quote a peaceful passage which speaks of tolerance from muhammads early days of weakness shortly after he invented islam, but they do not inform people that those peaceful passages are no longer in effect because they have been abrogated and superseded by later passages after muhammad had achieved greater military strength and was terrorizing, and murdering and robbing everyone he could.
These pesky gods get all confused I suppose and think better of their earlier mistakes made when drunk or under the influence of the godly narcotic ambrosia, so they just abrogate away their silly mistakes. Any god can make a mistake you know because writing coherent prose is a difficult task so don't judge them too harshly for not being perfect. They were working long hand without the aid of computers so we shouldn't expect perfection.
Not sure about that but he does contradict the heck out of himself on a regular basis:
Yes. | Yes, but disbelievers ... |

Use Gryphon Chow to feed 7 Trained Razorbeak gryphons.
- Trained Razorbeak fed (7)
- [Gryphon Chow] (provided)
Our clan reveres the gryphon as a sacred animal. They're majestic creatures of the skies, and more than just beasts; they're intelligent and cunning.
Some say we keep them, but it's more of a friendship. If you want to befriend the Wildhammer here, first befriend our gryphons! Take this bag o' chow, it's nice and fresh. Our trained razorbeak gryphons wander the forests to the south of the aviary. Go on and feed a few of 'em for me, aye?

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Edith Susskind's gift shop on the grounds of Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden in Livingston will close at month's end.
However, Mrs. Susskind will open each weekend in December — Friday, Saturday and Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. — and sell her inventory at a deep discount, 50 percent off everything.
The sale comes just as Staten Islanders are gift-gathering, and in Mrs. Susskind's shop there's a lot to choose from. Check out her porcelain pieces, photo albums, picture frames and costume jewelry. There's also a lovely selection of curios, objets d'art, trinkets, flowerpots and scarves.
If you can't make it to the shop over the weekend, Mrs. Susskind will be available by appointment on weekdays. Call 718-447-0716.
Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden is located at 1000 Richmond Terr. The gift shop is in Cottage E, near the Chinese Scholar's Garden, along Cottage Row.
Mrs. Susskind, an Advance Woman of Achievement, has operated a gift shop on Staten Island for decades. For many years, her store was on Forest Avenue in West Brighton. After the shop at Snug Harbor shuts its door, Mrs. Susskind will continue to sell select items from her home, by appointment.
